A year older, the third master of Beijing circle kissed her to tears

Chapter 694: Hostess and Swaying

"..."

Huo Yan lowered his head and said nothing.

Had he asked her about his decision to build another house?

If I only ask her for her opinion after I’ve been told everything, can she accept it 100%?

Zhuang Zhoucheng frowned and went forward to pull her. Huo Yan dodged for a moment, and Zhuang Zhoucheng grabbed her wrist and led her into the house.

All the servants in the house have been replaced, and we only officially met today.

"Third Master, Third Madam, good morning."

The servants stood on both sides, respectfully welcoming the two people home.

Zhuang Zhoucheng pulled Huo Yan into the house, but no one was home.

Because there is construction going on nearby and it is a bit noisy, the old man and Mrs. Xiang went to the resort to recuperate. They have been there for two months and there is only anyone at home at night.

The servants came forward one by one to report their names. Huo Yan sat upright, feeling as if he had just taken on the position temporarily.

Except for the three people in the kitchen, the others are responsible for the hall, cleaning, and gardening. Huo Yan has the final say on which ones will be assigned to the first wife and how to allocate them.

Zhuang Zhoucheng handed her a thin booklet. Huo Yan flipped through it and felt that it looked a bit like a roster.

He smiled and looked at Zhuang Zhoucheng blankly:

"I won't."

She has been focusing on her studies since she was a child. She has never even been a class leader at work. How can she know how to manage others?

Zhuang Zhoucheng roughly told her how the family was managed and distributed in the past. If she still didn't understand something, she could go and ask the eldest wife.

Huo Yan looked at the booklet, but had no clue at all.

Shaking his head:

"I still can't."

Zhuangzi acknowledged the true way:

"Or, you could refer to the previous distribution system at home and then slowly adjust it later. Whatever you think is the most appropriate distribution method, you can do it. Let's not change the current distribution method for now, okay?"

Huo Yan nodded, feeling a little worried. She was not born to be a manager. The family was handed over to her immediately, and she was under a lot of pressure.

After I gradually got a handle on all sorts of things like servant allocation, salaries, and duty hours, the more difficult part came: finances.

"Why do I feel like it's harder than managing your company?"

Huo Yan hugged Zhuang Zhoucheng's arm in great pain.

And finances?

She is the least sensitive about money.

"Don't give me money to spend. I'll make a mess of it."

"Believe in yourself, you can do it, okay?" Zhuang Zhoucheng patted her face and said.

"No, no, other things are fine, but this is really not possible. I'm not naturally sensitive to numbers. Zhuang Zhoucheng used to be the eldest wife's housekeeper, so let the eldest wife continue to manage it. I really can't do it."

Huo Yan wanted to back off. This was too difficult. She had to manage everything. Just the daily living expenses were enough to give her a headache, and she had to take care of everything, no matter how big or small.

"The eldest wife can only give you some advice. You are the mistress of this family. How can you put this burden on someone else's shoulders? The eldest sister-in-law has worked hard for so many years. It's time for you to take over. What do you think?"

Zhuang Zhoucheng would not give her a chance to retreat. He would take over sooner or later, and now was the time to slowly get started.

Huo Yan shook his head. "I can't, Zhuang Zhoucheng. Please don't cause me so much trouble, okay? You know I'm most afraid of these things."

Zhuang Zhoucheng remained silent, and Huo Yan pushed him again:

"How about letting the housekeeper take care of it?"

"The housekeeper is only there to help you manage and balance all aspects, and to manage according to your requirements. The power is yours, understand?"

Zhuang Zhoucheng looked at the little thing with a sad face, his face full of worry. If he really forced this on her, it would probably be bad.

"Mr. Zhou, Third Brother, Third Master, please spare me, okay?" Huo Yan hugged Zhuang Zhoucheng's arm and begged bitterly.

She really isn't cut out for this. Not to mention being a housekeeper, she even has trouble managing her own finances, so how can she manage such a big household for him?

Zhuang Zhoucheng was helpless:

"Then please let the eldest lady take care of you for two years first. You need to learn slowly. You are the mistress of this family, and it is up to you to manage it. It is time for you to grow up. I hope that one day you can become my good wife, instead of a child who never grows up, okay?"

"It feels like I've entered a den of wolves..." Huo Yan said muffledly.

Zhuang Zhoucheng took her hand and held it gently.

Huo Yan bit her lip and relaxed:

"I will learn how to manage from the eldest wife. Don't think I'm stupid. There are too many people and things in your family. It's really not easy for me to sort them out."

If she had known that there would be such a difficult task for her, she would never marry him even if she was beaten to death.

But it seems that the question of whether to get married or not is not up to her.

Zhuang Zhoucheng smiled and said, "As long as he is willing to agree and learn, that's enough."

She is not stupid and will get good results if she studies something seriously.

"good."

Zhuang Zhoucheng kissed her on the cheek.

There was no one at home, so the old man's hands were a little unruly. Anyway, there was no need to be cautious, so he would kiss or hug anyone he wanted.

In the evening, Zhuang Zhoucheng wanted to cook for her, but he hadn't done it for a while, so his hands were a little rusty.

Fortunately, Huo Yan is easy to feed and she eats anything that is cooked.

Huo Yan had been on trial reading for a week, and she never expected to meet Qian Ziang in class.

That person, wearing a pair of slippers, a pair of large flowered shorts, a flowery shirt that couldn't be more flowery, and a head of snow-white hair, just sat in the classroom so casually.

Everyone who entered the classroom looked at him. Who was this guy cosplaying?

Which anime character is this from?

You know what, there are actually girls who like it.

The main thing is that this guy has a really beautiful face. His hair on his forehead covers half of his handsome face. He wears very tacky clothes and has an alternative style. He looks very individual.

Huo Yan also saw it when he entered the classroom and rolled his eyes.

This person...

Qian Ziang was sitting in the last row with his arms and legs spread out, twirling a pen. Apart from his white hair, he was barely acceptable.

There were two public classes for first-year graduate students from three departments. After the first class, Qian Ziang walked towards Huo Yan, swaying in his Osaka shoes.

"Classmate, please make way."

Qian Ziang stood in the middle with his back straight, and the girl next to him was puzzled.

Qian Ziang pointed at Huo Yan, who was standing next to the girl with a look of disgust on his face, and said:

"She's my friend, can you please do me a favor?"

"Ok, Ok."

The girl quickly packed up her textbooks and sat in the back.

Qian Ziang sat down next to Huo Yan. Huo Yan leaned sideways, unable to avoid him. He turned around and looked at him, saying in a distressed voice:

"Boss Qian, I really want to yell, I don't know you."

Look at what colors he is wearing?

"Excuse me, are you using images to explain what a 'playboy' is?"

Huo Yan looked at Young Master Qian and was truly speechless.

I used to think this person was quite normal. Although, well, he does have some "personality" sometimes, it's all within the acceptable range. But with the outfit he's wearing today, please, this is a school, not a circus.

"correct!"

Qian Ziang immediately gave Huo Yan a thumbs up and said, "The one who understands me best is my sister Huo Yan."

"I only have one brother, don't yell at me. Besides, I'm married, so please keep your distance from married women, okay?"

Qian Ziang suddenly cried out in shock:

"What, you are a married woman? Then why are you seducing me?"

Huo Yan's eyes widened immediately, his brows furrowed, and he got a little angry and kicked him:

"you……"

The classmates sitting next to him heard it and looked at Huo Yan in surprise. Married?

Seduce others?

Qian Ziang stood up and avoided Huo Yan's foot, saying happily:

"Haven't you kicked me enough the night we spent together?"

Huo Yan's face flushed instantly and he said angrily:

"Qian Ziang, are you done yet?"

"Oh, I finally heard you calling my name. I thought you had forgotten my name." Qian Ziang sat back down.

Huo Yan gritted his teeth and buried his head in the table. It was so embarrassing!

"I heard that you are applying to universities in the United States. Is that true?" Qian Ziang asked seriously.

"Why should I tell you?"

Huo Yan was still lying on the table. This person was her enemy. He instantly rose to the top of her blacklist. In just a few minutes, she was too embarrassed to face anyone.

"The University of Pennsylvania seems pretty good. Do you think getting a master's degree would make me look more sophisticated?"

Qian Ziang asked Huo Yan very seriously.

Huo Yan slowly raised his eyes:

"How did you know I applied to the University of Pennsylvania? Did you investigate me?"

"Why should I investigate you? I just have this plan and am going to further my studies. As the saying goes, you never stop learning. I'm so young, it's not too late to learn now, right?" Qian Ziang looked at Huo Yan seriously.

Huo Yan was listening carefully, but he couldn't help but glance above his head.

"Your hair is too eye-catching, isn't it?" Huo Yan suddenly spoke.

"Have it?"

Qian Ziang cooperated unusually and brushed away the strands of hair on his forehead. "Don't you think it's very handsome?"

"Handsome? Who designed this hairstyle for you? The barber must have a grudge against you. I think he is just playing a trick on you." Huo Yan said seriously.

The expression on Qian Ziang's face was not very pretty. How could he be humiliated like this by her when he was so proud of himself?

Huo Yan didn't wait for Qian Ziang to speak, and immediately gave Liangxin some advice:

"Also, you're already old, so there's no need to study. You don't need a degree to get a job. In your situation, you can just go to the bookstore and buy some books on self-cultivation to cultivate your sentiments. You don't need to sit in a classroom to learn. I mean, a person's thickness is usually the accumulation of their personal life experiences and knowledge. It's a good idea for you to study, but it also depends on your own situation, right?"

What is there for someone like him to learn?

But don't actually apply to the University of Pennsylvania. If she's accepted, she'll be devastated.

"Where can I find such a good girl like you? Let's be friends." Qian Ziang immediately grabbed Huo Yan's hand and said.
